CANCELED DUE TO LOW SIGNUP NUMBERS.
Sorry y'all. We'll try for next year. 

Waterfall Informal Cyclocross,
1PM preride, 1:30PM start Saturday, January 28, 2023 Albuquerque, NM


Since one of the Hays races got canceled I thought it might be cool to have another CX, if other folks are interested. 

Course:

A big beautiful course with a mix of everything, a little pavement, grass, dirt, sand, A fair bit of running. Near the only waterfall on the Rio Grande in the Albuquerque area. 

Format:

There is no reason to show up early to warm up, as we will do 2 full neutral laps starting at 1PM. I am guessing a practice lap will be about 15 mins. Marking will be a little more discreet and minimal, as this is just a not a permitted event; thus 2 practice laps. Practice laps are not mandatory but at least one is recommended. 

Directions:
From 528 and 448 (the north end of Corrales Rd. go east about .75mi to where the road starts to curve south to Corrales. There will be a dirt road on your left, take it about a mile to the end and park. Start/Finish will be in the grass park. Google Placemark.
 
Online Registration:
We will use Google Forms for registration. It does not cost anything to preregister. You can donate online or at the race via cash, check or card. I am not going to charge late fees but please try to sign up by 11:59PM on Saturday 2/11/23.

There will be a 10 rider minimum by 11:59PM Thursday 1/26.

BCD Racing Course Marking Conventions

Red and green pinflags will always be red-right and green-left. These will mark either side of the course. Always go between them with red on the right. If you start seeing green-right you are probably riding the course backwards. I will occasionally place red and green pinflags on either side of the course if it has been a while since there has been any trail marking. These may not be near any intersection. This is just to let you know that you are still on course.

Orange pinflags show where not to go, and are usually in lines of 3 or more.  They will be used to block off a trail that is not on course.  Do not go in between orange pinflags. Sometimes lines of course tape also show where not to go. Lines of tape and orange pinflags mean the same thing: Do not cross. 

Intersections will be marked with triangular yellow arrows. Also, just beyond the intersection, I will put up at least two sets of red and green disinflation either side of the course. Sometimes there will also be orange pinflags blocking entrances to  roads/trails not on course. 

Always default to the more trafficked trail or road. If you are on a major trail or road, stay on it, and do not get off on any smaller intersecting trails/roads. It is not always possible to mark every possible little trail intersecting a main trail or road.  If the course DOES get off a more trafficked road/trail onto a less trafficked road/trail, there will always be some marking indicating this.
